(b) If prior to its perfection an appeal has been docketed for purposes of a motion for
extension of time for certification of the record on appeal, for intermediate relief, or for
dismissal of an adversary party's appeal, no further filing fee shall be required in order to
perfect or make any other motion pertaining to that appeal during its pendency. No filing fee
shall be payable in a criminal proceeding in which the appellant or appellants are represented
by the Public Defender. No filing fee shall be payable by the Commonwealth, but in civil
actions it shall be liable for reimbursement of costs as provided by paragraph (3) of this Rule
to the same extent as any other unsuccessful party. Judicial officers of the Court of Justice
who are litigants in their official capacities shall not be liable for reimbursement or for the
payment of filing fees except as may be required by the Supreme Court in actions arising
under Rule 4 (Judicial Retirement and Removal Commission).
(3) Collection.
Forthwith upon the final disposition of any action in an appellate court, the clerk shall
send the parties a statement of what portion, if any, of the filing fee or fees mentioned in
paragraph (2) of this Rule 76.42 shall be reimbursed by one party to the other, to the end that
the costs of each appeal or original action shall be borne by the unsuccessful party or parties.
Liability for reimbursement of costs may be enforced on motion without necessity of an
independent proceeding.
